It's a grind sometimes chasin' these country boy dreams
Buddy, this high life ain't always as high as it seems
You're takin' on the road life, bettin' on the bright lights
And hopin' for a big pay day
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain

It's so damn hot, got that black top smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the Sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain

Well, my cup gets full every time the spotlight's on
It gets to overflowin' when the crowd gets to singin' along
But I ain't slept yet, my eyes are all red
Can't remember what I ate today
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain

It's so damn hot, got that black top smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the Sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain
Aw, make it rain

You got nothin' to lose
Everything to prove
So keep payin' your dues

It's so damn hot, got that black top smokin'
It's breakin' the bank keepin' these wheels rollin'
We got a three-day run, just a race in the Sun
Tryna make it to the next big stage
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain
It's a good way to make a livin'
But a hard way to make it rain
